Prior knowledge, appealing the brand distinction, differentiation and similarity, Management and Marketing, 10.2478/MMCKS-2018-0020, 13, 3, 1014-1034, 2018.01, The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of information on consumer adoption when introducing a new beef brand to the Vietnamese markets. Three variables proxy the impacts of information are prior knowledge, usage experience, and price. This study developed three pieces of advertised information and combined them with three levels of price to indicate the relevant information to diffuse at the introduction of a new brand. Three kinds of information include: (1) distinction information, which defines a new brand to be distinct from existing competitive brands; (2) differentiation information, which identifies a new brand to be different from one existing brand; (3) similarity information, which defines a new brand to be similar to one existing brand. The survey was conducted via direct interviews with 480 customers at the food outlets in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The ordered logit model was applied to examine the influence of each kind of information on consumer preferences for a new beef brand. The results indicated that (1) the effect of information on consumer adoption for a new brand at early stage depends on how that information defines the new brand in consumers’ perception; (2) the distinction information generates the highest economic added value; (3) the similarity information creates the information bias at introduction; (4) the usage experience can be diagnostic for the information bias..

SUSUMU FUKUDA, Tran Than Thu, Masahiro Moritaka, The Study of Beef Market Structure and Channel Competition in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 61, 2, 391-400, 2016.09, In strong efforts to bring Japanese Wagyu beef with its outstanding characteristics to external markets, Japan is now paying high attention to exporting promotion globally. In Vietnam, after the official importing approval in April 2014 (Vietnam Custom), the value of Japanese beef is doubled in only one year (reached 158.341 million Yen in 2015). To penetrate into Vietnam market successfully, it is prerequisite for Japanese marketers to consider the Vietnam beef market. Despite Japanese Wagyu beef is an international brand, the response of consumers in each country is different; thus, specific marketing strategies, based on consumer culture and reaction to global brand for certain consumption pattern, is in need (Steenkamp, 2001; Keillor et al., 2001). Moreover, the driving force of the success in exporting performance is to identify the competitors and grasping the proper market segments (Cooper and Kleinschmidt, 1984). Hence, compared with long?history domination of Australian and American beef, it is important for Japanese Wagyu beef to approach from the right step about particular distribution channel for selective beef. With an attempt to provide Japanese Wagyu beef exporters to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) market with guidance, this study tries to investigate, not only the general status of the beef market in HCMC but also the Wagyu beef niche market. Via the combination of the primary data from direct interviews and the secondary data, the full context of HCMC beef market is scrutinized from both supply and demand perspectives. Additionally, the intensity of competition between Japanese Wagyu beef and Australian Wagyu beef is clarified through revisiting the theory of competitive advantages (Porter, 1980). Subsequently, the relevant exporting strategy for Japanese Wagyu beef is discussed basing on the eclectic theory of country?entry mode (Dunning, 1999.

SUSUMU FUKUDA, Liu Ran, Masahiro Moritaka, The Position of Consumer Cooperatives as a Rice Retail Format in Japan : An Analysis of the Fukuoka Prefectural Consumer Cooperative Members’ Rice?purchasing Needs and Behaviors, Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 62, 1, 295-308, 2017.02, To expand rice consumption in Japan, consumer cooperatives (hereinafter referred to as “co?ops”) are an expected retail format. The aim of a co?op is to contribute to the creation of a consumer?oriented social system centered on ensuring food safety, which has become increasingly concerning among Japanese consumers. The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the formulation of more effective marketing strategies and to encourage the use of co?ops when purchasing rice among existing members. First, co?op members’ diversified rice?purchasing needs are identified in order to investigate the relative position of co?ops among the numerous current retail formats for rice over a 10?year period. Data on rice purchases based on the psychographic criteria of co?op members were collected twice through mail questionnaire surveys: once in 2006 and once in 2015. The following six rice purchasing needs were identified using exploratory factor analysis: “Official information”, “Trustworthiness”, “Promotional information”, “Low price”, “Rinse?free”, and “Rice milling date”. Hierarchical cluster analysis based on these six needs identified the following five types of members: “Promotional information seekers”, “Trustworthiness seekers”, “Low price seekers”, “Members with low involvement in rice purchases”, and “Non?price elements seekers”. Accordingly, the results suggested that as a rice retail format, co?ops satisfy all six rice?purchasing needs except for “Low price”. Among the members, “Promotional information seekers” and “Non?price elements seekers” show the strongest loyalty to co?ops when purchasing rice. “Trustworthiness seekers” were recognized as a new segment that hopes to be much more loyal to co?ops in the future. In addition, significant changes in the manifestations of members’ rice needs occurred over a 10?year period; these needs should be analyzed to identify suggestions for the formulation of future rice retail strategies for co?ops..
